Upwards White Double Arrow On Pedestal Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⇯ features a double arrow pointing upward on a pedestal, which commonly conveys “move up,” “increase,” or “going higher.” In practical design contexts, it can represent an upward trend, escalation, priority, or an action that results in progress. Because it’s a bidirectional arrow shape (double arrow) combined with an upward direction, it often works well when you want to communicate momentum toward an improved state. It does not have a single fixed meaning like a dedicated control icon; instead, its meaning is usually interpreted from the surrounding text, labels, or UI state.

- •Labeling actions such as “raise,” “upgrade,” or “move up” in settings menus
